I do not agree with Serrati that the resolution will appear either too early or too late601. After this war there will be other wars, chiefly colonial wars. If the proletariat does not turn away from the path of social-imperialism, proletarian solidarity will be completely destroyed; therefore we must define a unified tactic. If we adopt only a manifesto, then Vandervelde, *L'Humanité*602 and the rest will again deceive the masses; they will say that they too are against war and for peace. The same obscurity that has existed hitherto will remain.
